Discussion of Results for Proposition Number
16: nude adult:
Overall, all eligible voters enacted the negative of the proposition thereby banning nude adults from an undesignated area of a public beach by 2.6:1, which is a rather large majority. Fifty nine out of a total of ninety four voters, or 63% voted against the proposition. Twenty three (24%) voted for the proposition. According to the rules of the vote, the negative of the proposition is instituted by the voters. The rule, then is: it is a violation of Community Standards for an adult to be nude at a public beach.
Since the margin of error is ±10.1%, (59 votes ±10.1% = ±6.0 votes, which is much larger than the 23 votes ‘for’ the proposition) this result is statistically significant at the 95% confidence level (i.e. 19 times out of 20) when applied to the Community as a whole.
The final, enacted rule, then, is: it is a violation of Community Standards for an adult to be nude at a public beach.
Eligible females voted 3.7 to one ‘against’ the proposition more than twice the rate of eligible males who voted 1.6 to one. Teen females voted 5.5 to one against the proposition, almost three and a half times the rate of eligible males. Non-residents voted ‘against’ (1.7:1) at approximately the same rate as eligible males (1.6:1).
Teen females are the group most against the proposition, followed by eligible females, and the groups least against the proposition were eligible males and non-residents.
